The laboratories that discovered neutrinos traveling faster than light now backtrack and state that they have found two possible glitches in their system that could account for this anomalous result.
In September last year, researchers from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Gran Sasso National Laboratory claimed that they had detected neutrinos traveling approximately 60 nanoseconds, or 60 billionths of a second, faster than the speed of light. Many scientists were doubtful at the time, because this would overthrow Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, which states that nothing can travel faster than light.
